None.

I spent this winter on a failed (lower cost) speaker cable mission. Tried the following:

- Blue Jeans 12 AWG - my existing wires

- Mogami 3103 - dark, slow

- Kimber 8TC - nice-ish mids and highs, light on the bass

- (Near)dost Valhalla 7N - Similar to Kimber

I returned to my BJC's for now. They sound good, but I am sure I could do better.

One difference with the BJC's is they have locking bananas on the amp end, spades on the speaker end, i.e. a very firm connection on both ends. All the other cables I tested were either standard spring metal bananas or BFA bananas.

When I had Atma-Sphere M60 mono amps sitting directly behind Quad ESLs I had Kimber make me up a pair of 1' long 4AG (pure silver) cables with Postmaster spades. When moving on to stereo amps I did like @dill and got myself a set of 8' Clear Day Double Shotgun (also pure silver) cables. Good enough for my modest system

I still have a pair of 8' Tara Labs Time & Space Phase !! (how's THAT for a trip back in time ;-) sitting in a box, and some cloth-covered Western Electric solid core copper cables I haven't gotten around to trying.

Oops, that was suppose read Time & Space Phase II, not !!.

Full Nordost Frey 2 loom, conditioning too. Had more upper end Nordost in the system but didn't own them. Incredible.
